Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system that removes harmful fumes and vapors from the air, creating a safe environment for fuel or gasoline transfer. It also reduces air pollution and is cost-effective.

Problems solved by technology

In practice, during the loading of liquid fuels, such as gasolines and middle distillates, volatile, noxious fumes are displaced, which, in most instances, generally escape into the atmosphere and contribute to overall air pollution in the geographic area.
It has been very difficult to transfer such liquids without the loss of vapors during the transfer process, which results in an increase in the amount of hydrocarbon material in the ambient air.
While the prior art contains many attempts to collect such vapors and prevent their loss into the atmosphere, these efforts have not been entirely successful for several reasons.
One of the disadvantages of conventional vacuum recovery systems is that they tend to be leaky and are not successful in entrapping all of the escaping vapors.
Also, many conventional systems for vapor recovery are found to be extremely dangerous because they create explosive mixtures of vapors and air, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are very difficult to handle.

Abstract

This invention relates to a system and method of recovering volatile gasoline / petroleum vapours during the supply, handling, and distribution of petroleum products for use in road transport. The system utilizes the vacuum created by a closed shutoff valve outside of a gasoline storage tank, on the vent line, for recovering raw gasoline vapors or fumes while gasoline is being transferred from the gasoline storage tank to a fuel carrying tanker truck, vice-versa, or while gasoline is being transferred from the gasoline storage tank to normal vehicles (cars, pick-up trucks, etc).
